In today’s Adobe Illustrator tutorial we’re going to create a cool abstract geometric design with icy blue polygonal shapes. This style of art is perfect for adding stunning visuals to your design work and being vector based means it can be used for anything from a book cover to the background of your website or social media profile. This is another really simple Illustrator technique that results in some really awesome looking artwork. The abstract geometric design we’ll be creating features a series of interconnecting polygonal shapes, much like the facets of a crystal. Illustrator’s Pathfinder tool makes it easy to create this polygonal effect, then once a series of cool blue fills with subtle gradients are added the design is really brought to life with crisp lines and vibrant colours. Open up Adobe Illustrator and draw a square on the artboard, then grab the Pen tool and draw a random zig zagging line across the whole square. Make sure to single click the path points to avoid dragging out any bezier curve handles. Turn on Smart Guides (CMD+U) to make snapping to existing points super easy, then draw another zig zagging line across the square. Continue adding zig zag lines horizontally and vertically across the square, matching up points wherever two points are in close proximity. As the number of lines increases polygonal shapes will start to emerge from the intersections. More lines equals smaller shapes and more detail, so continue until you’re happy with the effect. Draw a selection around all the objects then hit the Divide button from the Pathfinder palette. Right click and select Ungroup, then draw a selection around…

Let’s learn how to use Inkscape’s Grids and Pen tool to create a geometric Aztec pattern. While this may seem like a tedious design, we’ll also go over a few tricks to shorten things up! 1.

In this tutorial, we are going to create a vector illustration of a paper bird by drawing and modifying geometric shapes in Adobe Illustrator. We’ll be working from a sketch to create a 3D looking paper bird and utilizing gradients to create depth. Let’s get to it! 1. Create Your Geometric Sketch Step 1 Create a New Document ( Control-N ) with 600 x 600px size and five layers in the following order: ” Details “: This is where we are going to put the final detailing of the illustration. ” Gradients “: This layer will contain our gradients to add depth to the bird. ” Draw “: In this layer we will create our base illustration. ” Sketch “: Here we are going to draw a quick sketch with the Blob Brush Tool ( Shift-B ) ” Background Color “: In this layer goes the background color ( #ACDDF0 ) Step 2 First of all we draw a Rectangle (M) for the “Background Color” and set the fill as #ACDDF0 . Lock the layer and then select the Blob Brush Tool ( Shift-B ). We’ll then go into the “Sketch” layer and we’ll begin. Start with our sketch, all you need to do is think in geometric forms, like a low poly illustration. Now if the bird is made out of paper, our body base will be a hexagonal prism (in red on the screenshot), the head and rear (blue) are like extensions of the hexagonal shape and the tails and legs can be like folded paper (green). Step 3 Draw the bird in a more dynamic pose, so it will appear more visually appealing. Straight on illustrations in this style end up looking more technical than artistic. By changing the angle, we’re …

Low poly art would usually be made with 3D applications such as Cinema 4D to build three dimensional models, but we can create similar styles in two dimensions directly in Illustrator. Follow this tutorial to create a cool low poly mountain illustration using vector paths. We’ll add gradients to simulate a 3D effect then take the design into Photoshop to polish it up with cool textures. Here’s the final artwork we’ll be creating. The polygonal mountain will be created using Illustrator’s accurate vector tools then brought into Photoshop for some texturing to really bring it to life. Create a new Illustrator document and draw a rough mountain outline using the Pen tool. Make single clicks to generate straight lines between each point and follow a curved path for the bottom edge to help with its 3D appearance later. Deselect the outline shape then add intersecting lines running from upper to lower points. Use Smart Guides (CMD+U) to make it …

Tuts+ has the honor to present to you a vector tutorial from a true legend, Wedha Abdul Rasyid. Wedha, originally from Indonesia, created his art work in traditional mediums early in the 1990s, which later in early 2000, crossed over into the digital world. Vector being the natural choice for such a colorful, geometric style. Since then, it has gained major popularity in Indonesia, with several communities dedicated to the creation and showcasing of portraits in a WPAP style, with members in their thousands! With the resurgence of the geometric trend, it’s fair to say that WPAP may venture out of Indonesia and into more aspects of design.
